Canada is behind on permanent residence landings for 2026.
IRCC data through June 30 shows 155,800 new PRs, about 41% of the 380,000 top-line target. The economic stream is furthest off pace, while family class is slightly ahead.
If you are waiting on Express Entry, a PNP nomination, or another economic pathway, mid-year shortfalls can shift how IRCC manages invitations and inventories later in the year. Strong profiles and complete files still matter more than hoping the system speeds up on its own.
